In his own words

Wanted: a passionate, outside of the box, confident, active, adventurous, optimistic, attractive, fearless, well-balanced woman. I am established in my profession & do love what I do. I have a ton of ambition, please have some too. But my business does not define me. Life is meant to be lived, not feared or chained to a desk at work. With that said, I am a seriously hard worker (you need to be too), but again it is not what makes me tick. I am a tired of cookie cutter Nordstrom/Pottery Barn women. Have a bit of an edge, which does not mean you have to have tattoos (although tats are growing on me), blue hair, a nose ring (I did always like those), but be passionate about something, basket weaving, running, gardening, yoga, something ...
I am fiercely optimistic & enjoy each day. Born & raised in VA; moved to SD for college. I am pretty serious about exercise; I don't bench 350 lbs & am not a black belt, but love & I am serious about running, mountain biking, yoga & skiiing. And I am up to try just about anything ... but you have to be active. If you are a coach potato &/or don't exercise at all, it probably is not going to work. You don't have to do Ironman’s ... and YES have big dreams ... we only got a shot at this once . . .
With that said chemistry is essential ... women ... they are just beautiful, and sexy & men ... well ... you fill in the blank, but when we really connect ... well it’s pretty unbelievable. Do I really need to say more?
The bald guy: I told myself years ago, whenever my hair started to go, I was going to pull the trigger and shave it off. Comb over, transplants, no way. I figured once it was shaven I could see if it worked, make sure there were no divots or large scars. Works for me-
Let me throughout a few more essentials: Laughter- you have to be able to laugh & have fun; please do not be a perfectionist. Enjoy beauty- it can be as simple as noticing a breeze, to a giant sequoia tree; if you are an artist of some sort, even better. Strong woman- I am looking for a partner, that does not mean you need to make as much money as I do, or if you make more, fine (lol) ... but my point is, be strong, be a partner, have your own identity, dreams, loves, hopes, skills ...
I have travelled a lot: Spain, Italy, Egypt, Finland, Brazil, Russia, Austria, France & Morocco to name a few. Next Stops: South America (I am thinking Patagonia). My best trip was 3 weeks all over Europe with my grandfather. With that said, please have a larger perspective of the world than SoCal. I love it here, but there is so much to learn and experience, but get outside the SoCal and US box. If you can speak more than one language ... this is very good. And please love your family, maybe not everyone in the family, I mean everyone has a weird uncle, or someone that drank too much, but love those that are lovable.
I enjoy the finer things in life, but fine the simplicity of a weekend camping cannot be beat. And yes, I said camping. I am not suggesting that you bitterly agree to go because you are shamed into it, or you went once when you were a Girl Scout . . . but instead that you really enjoy the beauty of the world that surrounds us, love being warmed by the fire at night, sleeping in a tent, being awoken by birds and sunlight, and are good with being dirty for a 5 to 10 days out of the 365 days of the year. Is this too much to ask? Anyone can clean up well, trust me that is not impressive. I mean I appreciate a girl that can clean up well, but maybe I am just different; I am looking for a girl that can be well ... dirty ...
I really don’t have a punch list of qualities that a woman must have, but I do know myself, what is attractive to me in a partner, a woman, lover . . . don’t be put off if you do not hit every mark, hopefully you can show me something new, teach me something, inspire & challenge me.

Pets

Like all animals . . . but if you are a die hard cat lover . . . I am not going to lie to you . . . it probably is not going to work out. Don't get me wrong, cats are fine, but if you have more than one, well that's probably one too many for me.
